    Although the female lead appears later in the story, she is truly a commendable character. She plays a guiding role in her husband's life, demonstrating great vision and perspective. Had it not been for the constraints of the patriarchal society of her time, she would undoubtedly have achieved much.

    I was blown away the first time I read both novels by the same author. The first one serves as a bridge between the previous two, and while the second one isn't finished, I truly love *Nirvana in Fire* and *Lotus Pavilion*. *The Legend of the Young Swordsman*, *Nirvana in Fire*, and *Lotus Pavilion* were truly unfulfilled dreams for me, but these two novels made up for them. I absolutely adore the female lead's personality, and the little Taoist priest is so cute!
